Accidental Death of an Anarchist @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Oct 9 @ 7:30 pm – Oct 12 @ 3:00 pm
Accidental Death of an Anarchist @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse

Accidental Death of an Anarchist
by Dario Fo
Adapted by Tim Supple & Alan Cumming

This amateur production of Accidental Death of an Anarchist is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.

A master of disguise walks into a police station… and chaos ensues.

When a cunning con artist finds himself in police custody, he discovers something far more valuable than any heist—the perfect opportunity to turn the tables on authority itself. Armed with lightning-quick wit and a dangerous talent for impersonation, he transforms an ordinary day at the station into an extraordinary game of cat and mouse.

What begins as simple trickery evolves into something much more explosive, where every joke hides a barb, every laugh reveals a crack in the system, and nothing is quite what it seems. In this whirlwind of mistaken identities and verbal acrobatics, the question isn’t just who’s fooling whom—it’s whether anyone has the stomach for the truth when it arises.

A razor-sharp political farce that proves the most dangerous weapon isn’t a gun—it’s laughter.

It’s autumn in Moominvalley. Leaves are falling, rain has settled in. Six strangers arrive, each searching for something. Snufkin is looking for a melody. Fillyjonk longs for order. And Toft wants, more than anything, to meet the Moomins. 
 
But the house is empty. The valley is quiet. The Moomins have gone.

Moominvalley in November @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
A New Musical
 
It’s autumn in Moominvalley. Leaves are falling, rain has settled in. Six strangers arrive, each searching for something. Snufkin is looking for a melody. Fillyjonk longs for order. And Toft wants, more than anything, to meet the Moomins. 
 
But the house is empty. The valley is quiet. The Moomins have gone. 
 
Based on Tove Jansson’s final Moomin story, Moominvalley in November is a gentle, profound, and life-affirming meditation on grief, belonging, and quiet resilience. 
 
A co-production between Nummulite and Chromolume—the in-house company at Upstairs at the Gatehouse behind In ClayRoad Show, and Tom Lehrer Is Teaching Math and Doesn’t Want to Talk to YouMoominvalley in November was shortlisted for Mercury Musical Development’s BEAM 2025 showcase.
